Quark Blueberry Cheesecake!

A cheesecake without cheese but with lots of blueberries! As you know I'm switching jobs. My PhD project has finished, still need to work on some articles in my free time so I'm not Dr. D. Wierenga yet, but I will finish my thesis this year! I'm starting a new job in just over a week and enjoying my time in Rio de Janeiro till then.

But of course we organized a small goodbye party for my colleagues and made my Lemon & Poppyseed Muffins but also this amazing cheesecake!
